The whole of Leicester is in party mood today as thousands of supporters have turned out to cheer the open-top tour of the 5000-1 Premier League champions.
More than 100,000 men, women and children have lined the streets of the city to get a glimpse of their heroes and also the shiny trophy.
For the first time in the club's 132-year history, Leicester City became champions of England - a victory regarded as one of the greatest ever sporting triumphs.

Nobody gave the club a chance at the start of the season, with bookmakers offering odds of 5000-1 in August and October last year.
But a mix of team spirit, courage and some 'dilly-ding, dilly-dong' from manager Claudio Ranieri, the unthinkable happened this season.
The club were crowned champions earlier this month, when Chelsea drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.
That result sparked scenes of jubilation in Leicester, with thousands taking to the streets of the city centre and hundreds gathering outside striker Jamie Vardy's house - where the players were.
They were finally given the Premier League trophy after a thrilling 3-1 win over Everton last week, with classical singer Andrea Bocelli even joining in the party.
Today, the trophy is being paraded through the city, as is traditional with all Premier League champions, in a huge celebration which began at 3pm and will go on into the night.

Many people turned up with masks of hero manager Ranieri, flags, scarves, banners and blow-up Premier League trophies.
The City squad are parading themselves and the trophy from Jubilee Square to Victoria Park, where they will be on stage to thank the supporters and make speeches.
A sea of blue greeted captain Wes Morgan and the Championship title-winning squad outside the Town Hall two years ago.
But with this year's victory parade set to conclude at Victoria Park, it will be much, much bigger.
A party atmosphere has been building all day as supporters gathered to laud the remarkable achievements of football's 'miracle team'.
Scarf-waving revellers have crowded every thoroughfare of the parade route, which has been transformed into a sea of blue and white, reflecting the Foxes' colours.
There has also been a big Italian contingent in the city, honouring countryman and manager Claudio Ranieri who has spearheaded this year's successful campaign.

'He came to find glory, and he found the championship.'
The parade - official recognition of Leicester's status at Champions of England for the first time in the club's 132-year history - is being transmitted on to big screens erected at Victoria Park, where the bus tour will conclude.
There are rumours city rock band Kasabian will also play a set after the players leave the specially built stage in the park, where the celebrations are set to continue into the evening.
The latest celebrations in the city follow Leicester's 1-1 draw at Chelsea on Sunday, a result which extended their end-of-season unbeaten run to 12 matches.

A huge red, white and green tricolour bearing the Italian national football team slogan Forza Azzurri took pride of place at the busy East Gates junction, with bare-chested supporters chanting their heroes' names.
Among the partying crowds was a group of Italian students from the home of Ferrari, Maranello.
Simone Biagini, 25, and friends Christian Brunese, Davide Cambriglia, and Alberto Guliani flew out especially for the parade, and are determined to celebrate the 'Campiones'.
Mr Biagini said: 'We are here for the party, for the miracle team and we are going to get drunk before we leave tomorrow.'

The crowds also included a party of mature students from Thailand, all studying English on a month-long language course at Leicester's De Montfort University.
Chaiya Noradechanunt, from Northern Thailand, donned a jester-style Leicester City hat to watch the parade - a fortnight after watching the title-clinching Tottenham-Chelsea match on television in his homeland.
The 48-year-old, who works as a nurse, said: 'I am here for four weeks and I love football - I always watch the matches in Thailand.
'Leicester are very popular, have a big fan club, in Thailand, because King Power is the sponsor.
'This (the parade) is fantastic for Leicester and they have played fantastic - a big improvement as they nearly fell last year.'
The club has strong links to the Far Eastern nation after a 2010 take-over by Thai owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Long-time fan Eileen James from Birstall, Leicester, said she was delighted by the international flavour of the celebrations, which have drawn visitors from across the globe.
'I think it's absolutely amazing, ' she said
'Everybody is here, all these different nationalities. They've come from all over the world just to be here.'
Referring to comments from late broadcaster Terry Wogan, who in the 1980s quipped that the city was only mentioned in traffic reports but 'otherwise, unknown to mankind', Mrs James said the city was now 'on the map'.
